This topic is your starting point for questions about where to get iXBRL/XBRL reports for use with the anuboXBRL Reader and anuboXBRL Analyzer.
The general idea:
- Use our list of Public XBRL filing portals worldwide and the User Guide as your primary sources.
- For portal-specific discussions, use the XBRL filing portals worldwide category.
- If you still have a Reader-specific question, create your own new topic in this category.
1. Start with the list of “Public XBRL filing portals worldwide” and User Guide
We maintain a list of Public XBRL filing portals worldwide (AMER, EMEA, APAC) operated by regulators, stock exchanges and company registries:
The User Guide already contains detailed examples for some of these portals – for instance US-GAAP and ESEF filings – and we are continuously expanding it to make access to XBRL reports easier for everyone. Forum posts that describe working approaches or useful portals may be reflected in the User Guide so other users can benefit, too.
Please review these resources first to see if your question is already answered.
2. Use the XBRL filing portals worldwide category for portal-specific questions
If your question is mainly about which portal to use and how to download filings, please use the dedicated XBRL filing portals worldwide category.
There you will find hub topics such as:
- US-GAAP / SEC EDGAR iXBRL filings
- ESEF / IFRS iXBRL filings (Europe)
- (and, over time, additional hubs for other XBRL implementations)
These hubs are the right place to discuss:
- search options and download formats of specific portals,
- which ZIP packages or files work best in practice,
- country- or regulator-specific quirks and changes.
3. Reader-specific questions – open a new topic here
If the Public XBRL filing portals worldwide, the User Guide, the xbrl-filings hubs and existing topics do not answer your question, and your issue is really about using the filings in the anuboXBRL Reader, please open a new topic in the anuboXBRL Reader category instead of replying here.
When you create your topic, please include:
- Which framework / regulator you are interested in
(e.g. US-GAAP / SEC, ESEF/IFRS in country X, local GAAP in country Y) - Whether you already tried a specific portal (with link, if public)
- What exactly you are trying to achieve in Reader
(one-off analysis, regular downloads, specific reports or issuers) - Whether your question is about opening the downloaded file or about inserting and analysing the data in Excel
A clear title helps, for example:
Reader: which ESEF ZIP from [Country] works best with the add-in?Reader: which SEC EDGAR files should I download for US GAAP 10-K?
4. Keep data and rights safe
Please only work with public filings and data you are legally allowed to use.
- Do not post confidential issuer data or non-public financial information.
- Do not post content from commercial databases or paywalled services that is licensed for internal/private use only.
If you are unsure whether you may share a specific document, it is better to describe the situation in words instead of uploading the file.
